[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 722513"] DNS isn't that good for blocking unless you run a local DNS server w/blacklists, like Pi-Hole. Then DNS blocking becomes a potent layer of security. Quad9 is garbage by the way, don't use it. Anyone can setup a Pi-Hole and point their router DNS back to the IP of the local Pi-Hole. I use these blacklists on my Pi-Hole and it provides near absolute protection at the DNS level for anything within my network; [URL]http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts[/URL] [URL]http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts[/URL] [URL]http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt[/URL] [URL]https://adaway.org/hosts.txt[/URL] [URL]https://adblock.mahakala.is[/URL] [URL]https://bitbucket.org/ethanr/dns-blacklists/raw/8575c9f96e5b4a1308f2f12394abd86d0927a4a0/bad_lists/Mandiant_APT1_Report_Appendix_D.txt[/URL] [URL]https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/adac7982307fec6ee23605e281a57f1a/raw/5b8582b906a9497624c3f3187a49ebc23a9cf2fb/Test.txt[/URL] [URL]https://gist.githubusercontent.com/BBcan177/b6df57cef74e28d90acf1eec93d62d3b/raw/f0996cf5248657ada2adb396f3636be8716b99eb/MS-4[/URL] [URL]https://gist.githubusercontent.com/CheckYourSix/52d2b122aa216e944641b4e1665a92a3/raw/d76d12c8909b8921d0d7cb0cc1a96b4498a68772/gistfile1.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CHEF-KOCH/Canvas-Font-Fingerprinting-pages/master/Canvas.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CHEF-KOCH/WebRTC-tracking/master/WebRTC.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CHEF-KOCH/Audio-fingerprint-pages/master/AudioFp.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CHEF-KOCH/Canvas-fingerprinting-pages/master/Canvas.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hostsfile.mine.nu/hosts0.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/emd.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/exp.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/fsa.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/grm.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hosts-file.net/psh.txt[/URL] [URL]https://hostsfile.org/Downloads/hosts.txt[/URL] [URL]https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/suspiciousdomains_Low.txt[/URL] [URL]https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/immortal_domains.txt[/URL] [URL]https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains[/URL] [URL]https://osint.bambenekconsulting.com/feeds/dga-feed.txt[/URL] [URL]https://ransomwaretracker.abuse.ch/downloads/RW_DOMBL.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/youtubeadsblacklist/master/domainlist.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dawsey21/Lists/master/main-blacklist.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/piwik/referrer-spam-blacklist/master/spammers.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quidsup/notrack/master/malicious-sites.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quidsup/notrack/master/trackers.txt[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/add.Spam/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/add.2o7Net/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/add.Risk/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/KADhosts/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/SpotifyAds/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/tyzbit/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/UncheckyAds/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vokins/yhosts/master/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts[/URL] [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts_browser[/URL] [URL]https://reddestdream.github.io/Projects/MinimalHosts/etc/MinimalHostsBlocker/minimalhosts[/URL] [URL]https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt[/URL] [URL]https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_malvertising.txt[/URL] [URL]https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/AdguardDNS.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Airelle-hrsk.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Airelle-trc.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/BillStearns.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Easylist.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Easyprivacy.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Kowabit.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Prigent-Ads.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Prigent-Malware.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Prigent-Phishing.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Shalla-mal.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/static/SamsungSmart.txt[/URL] [URL]https://v.firebog.net/hosts/static/w3kbl.txt[/URL] [URL]https://www.dshield.org/feeds/suspiciousdomains_Low.txt[/URL] [URL]https://www.joewein.net/dl/bl/dom-bl-base.txt[/URL] [URL]https://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt[/URL] [URL]https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=domainblocklist[/URL] [/QUOTE]
